Multi-instrumentalist and composer Elliott Sharp made his name in the vibrant New York music scene of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, working alongside fellow musicians like Eugene Chadbourne and Bill Laswell. His work since has veered all over the musical map, including experimental electronic music, electric blues, atonal jazz, world music and contemporary classical. If there's a thread that connects Sharp's work, it's his keen wit and the influence of literature and mathematics on his compositions.
